Compute ∫10∫x20yexdydx
It's been a couple of years since I've done any real integration and we just started doing double integrals in my Calculus 3 class. I can't remember what do do from here:
∫101exy22|x20dx=12∫10x4exdx
From here I assumed integration by parts:
u=ex
du=exdx
dv=4x3dx
v=x4
Setting this up I get:
ex2x4−∫10x4exdx
This is where I'm stuck. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Answer
Let me suggest a different strategy. Take the integral
∫xne−xdx
Take
u=xn,du=nxn−1dx
dv=e−xdx,v=−e−x
We then have
∫xne−xdx=vu−∫vdu=−xne−x+∫nxn−1e−xdx
Notice how this reduces the power x is raised to.
Can you apply this here and whittle down the power until the only term you have to integrate is
A∫e±xdx
for some constant A?
The reason I suggest this is that with your choice of u and dv, the power that x is raised to will keep rising, which isn't helpful at all.
